City Walk in Dubai
City Walk in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is one of the places that I prefer to visit when I feel like going out for a meal, or to watch a movie as it is not very crowded. It is located in the heart of the city which is just few minutes away from Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall. It is a great place to have a stroll especially at night when the lights are lit. As shown on below photo, the towering Burj Khalifa in the background adds glamour to the skyline. Please watch my short video below about City Walk Dubai, and do not forget to subscribe to my…

A visit to the capital of Switzerland
More on Switzerland, the country that I admired the most when it comes to spectacular scenery. It is a nation that has clean and beautiful countryside, nice people, as well as inspiring history. It is just to name a few of the reasons why I honestly love Switzerland. There is no better way to know more about this wonderful and rich country than to visit its capital city – Bern, even just for a day. Bern is the de facto capital and the fifth most populous city in Switzerland. It traces its origins back to the twelfth century with much evidence of the medieval architecture from that time preserved in…

CERN in Geneva is the birthplace of world wide web (www) as we know it today. It was invented by an English engineer and computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. I only had one day scheduled to explore Geneva, which, unfortunately, really did not do it justice considering its magnitude in history and the many interesting things to see and do. Still, I’m so…

Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics in Moscow, Russia
One of the things I did during my visit to Moscow was to visit the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics. With the help of my Russian roommate – Julia, I was able to organize my visit.
